Also check out the rules for labelling of food.

Checking labels
The Netherlands Food and Consumer Product Safety Authority (Nederlandse Voedsel- en Warenautoriteit, NVWA) checks whether the information on the label is correct. They can take measures if the information is incorrect or insufficient.
If your product is not listed here, it may not be subject to any additional labelling requirements. If so, you have to keep to the rules for general product safety. Article 6 of the General Product Safety Regulation (GPSR) sets out what your product or the packaging should state.
